One of the objects of this invention is to provide a display holder that will effectively hold and display articles to be sold. Further objects of this invent-ion are to provide a display holder that will be inexpensive to manufacture, light in weight, but strong and of good appearance. Still other objectsare to provide a display holder that can be stacked and easily shipped with the merchandise and which will protect it while in shipment.

Referring to the drawings:

In carrying out my invention, I preferably propose to make the display holder 1 of sheet metal in one piece except that a foot or back piece 4': is riveted or secured in any well known manner to the back of body portion 3 of the display holder to support it.

The display holder 1 has top piece 2 upon the face of which can be placed advertising matter. Below top piece 1 is body portion 3 bent to hold a carton or other container in which are the articles to be sold. The angle between the back and the top and bottom sides of body portion 3 is slightly less than a right angle in order that the body portion can grip the carton or container. Below body portion 3 is bottom 5, upon which the front of the display holder rests and which causes it to tilt back and rest upon the hot- HOLDER,

The carton containing the articles to be displayed generally has a glass cover but should it have a cardboard cover it should be removed. In operation the carton is placed in the body portion 3. In doing so the top piece 2 and the bottom piece 5 must be sprung slightly to permit the carton to be inserted. Back piece 4 is then bent to the proper angle to body portion 3 and the display cabinet can be set up on the counter. In shipment, the carton is placed in body portion 3 with the glass cover facing inwards in other words, adjacent the body portion and protectedthereby.
